When I got home from school in the 2nd grade, there was an LP on the RCA console with a note from my grandmother. She had been to Texarkana and stopped by on her way home to Magnolia. The note said, "They didn't have any Kate Smith." (Aw, dang) "So I got you Liberace."
I wore out that album. Mostly, Moonlight Sonata. Listen to it, to the Symphony 7 movement 4, to Egmont Overture. Beethoven, along with predecessors Vivaldi and Bach, was metal, among other things. Influences have greater reach than decades. Listen to Dio's work on Deep Purple's Highway Star, then listen to Bach.
